Influential and Facilitative Leadership for Advocacy
About This Course
This course provides participants with tools to harness team creativity to generate original ideas from team members in order to arrive at a consensus. This is achieved through a combination of classroom instruction and experiential activities, during which students will learn about the attributes of a facilitative leader through acquiring and practicing facilitation skills such as active listening, questioning techniques, and convergent and divergent facilitation skills. The theoretical principles and underpinnings of influencing others would be explored in this course to provide the conceptual understanding and skills for leaders to advocate for causes that would impact others for social good. The experiential teaching and learning approach is adopted throughout the course via role play and experimentation, active feedback, and reflective thinking.
